5 Argument against prostitution

1. Canadian system and another are not inconsistent, they are pragmatic. They realise that it’s impossible to stop the sex market and the trade of sexual service, so it’s useless to purchase prostitute. Canade like France and UK chose to fight indirectly against prostitution. Government with a abolitionist approach punish pimps and soliciting. If we legalise prostitution activities spread, but we need to contain them. And total repression is unrealistic.

2. Considerate prostitution like a job, it’s accepting women exploitation. It’s destroying all efforts on sex equality. It’s justified the right of clients and pimps with sale et purchase of a body. It’s forget that prostitution is at 90 % marginalized and drugs users women, more than half have been sexually abused during their childhood. It’s forget that have sexual relations impersonal and repeated lead to a desensitisation on body and feeling, how can conducted to depression or suicide.

3. Legalise prostitution don’t protect prostitute. In UK and Germany, where prostitution is legal since 2001 and 2000, experience show that many prostitutes are foreign and without papers can’t access to sanitary and juridical system. Legalisation doesn’t stop violence or contempt of population.

4. Legalisation of prostitution participates to OC mondial. Abroad, opening and success of brothels lead a search of cheap workers, how use directly women traffic. In Nederland, numbers of these women from East and Central Europa was tripled. Quebec, already considered like a area to tourism sexual in North America will see this trade grown very speedy.

5. Legalisation of prostitution is a political defeat. In Germany, cities of more than 150 000 habitants must obligatory reserve 7 to 10 % of their territory to prostitution areas. In Australia, the Daily planet the biggest brothel of Melbourne (between 100 and 150 girls) is listed since February 2003. Is this acceptable? Sweden have a better approach, considerating that if there is no clients, there is no prostitute, so they punish pimps and clients. Government has developed help services to prostitute : sanitary and education. Clients are gone, trafficants target another country : Sweden win !
